Download Instrumental    Let’s switch gears for a moment.  You’re not playing a raucous Halloween bash at the Elks Lodge in Fairhope.  Your gig is Bucky’s Birdcage Lounge at the Grand Hotel in Point Clear.  This calls for a little more laid-back approach.

“Witchcraft” was released by Frank Sinatra in May of 1957.  He recorded the song three times in a studio setting.  The first in ’57 as a single, then re-recorded it in 1963 on his album Sinatra’s Sinatra.  Finally, in 1993, he went back into the studio and trotted it out one more time with Anita Baker on his Duets album.  It’s a standard jazz favorite and will work well at the Grand Hotel.

I kept the arrangement simple.  You’ll only get one chord on the piano to set your key, so be prepared to jump right in.  They’ll love this at The Grand or anywhere else with a touch of class.
